Research direction

Start at the linked “Private and protected properties and methods” section, especially the private-waterlimit note, and compare its statement with the current caniuse data linked in the issue. Update the browser-support information so it no longer claims that private class elements lack engine support or require polyfilling, then verify the rendered tutorial text and links.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There's a note on Private and protected properties and methods stating that the private keyword in classes isn't supported by any javascript engines and that usage requires polyfilling. But according to caniuse, the private keyword has been supported by all major browsers for almost 3 years.
